Cool... I hope that rumor about VanNess being behind it is true.

I want it. Now. Right now. It looks awesome! I like the bit about the dice (10-sided with numbers, 10-sided with letters). Very cool.

Oh, it is.

Hey, I've heard of this game!

We will be running demos for this game at GenCon 2011 in addition to one tournament event.

Looks awesome!

Seems like it could be fun to play, but at $65 I don't see it flying off the shelves.

Awesome, another Hasbro game to join my addiction to plastic.

That 65 is probably the standard MSRP - if it was sold at Wal-Mart or online, the cost will be significantly lower (think 30-45). Still not super cheap, but not super expensive either.

That's what I was thinking. $65 bucks is a bit ridiculous, but even at $35 that might be a stretch. Didn't we all pay the same price for our Master Sets, with customizable terrain, cards, dice, and a generous selection of units?

Maybe for $20 bucks I might pick it up, but if its sitting at around 30-40 bucks, I might wait a bit. However, its 4 months away from releasing, perhaps there is more inside the box...

The plastic ships alone are worth $20!

I will support games that are well made. If they cost a bit more, so be it! It's better than buying crap that you'll never play more than once. Like J.S. said, it will more than likely be around the $35-$40 range once places like Walmart and Coolstuffinc.com get a hold of it.

The game looks terrific. I know I will be keeping a close eye on this one. Especially knowing that CVN gave it his personal attention and also knowing that Ry said it's Heroscapish.

It looks like the names of the factions on the box are, The Intergalactic Space Navy and The Wrechamacallits?
